I have a few questions. Where can I get an HD2 for a good price? It seems like no matter where I look, it's still selling for $300. Since it's a GSM phone, can I use it with AT&T by unlocking it? I have a tilt 2 but I'd really like to try this phone out, that's why I'm asking and this will definitely be a step up for me.
You can definitely pick one up for lower than 300$. If I were you I would look on craigslist in your area or even eBay. The prices of a new hd2 should be around the 250 mark maybe a little lower. You can also unlock the hd2 so you can use it with at&t. If you want a hd2 that will work with at&t 3g look for a Telstra hd2 (9193) that work great but that maybe around the 275$ mark.

lol, you can have mine for $250 shipped
I brought mine on ebay for $120. Sniped it at the last second. Normally though I've seen them sell on there about or under $175 even. You just have to wait really. Look at an odd time if you can like on a Tuesday morning bout 2am. Lol. Not a lot of people are up then bidding so you might have better luck. Plus a lot of people don't know for your best price you really should end an auction on a weekend like late Sunday when people are most likely to be online.

common man....they are all over Craigslist for $150 **mint condition** infact i am getting one today.... for a friend !!
Not real sure where you live but here in Maryland they're far and few in-between on Craigslist. But it does separate into cities so the sellers by you won't show up for me. :-(

Im sure at some point this has been answered somewhere in here, but after 20 min of searching I gave up.
I preordered a tablet from GP. Last friday I picked one up at Sams Club. I am planning on selling the one I preordered from GP (already a buyer lined up). When I ordered it I clicked the box that said 'link to this account'. Will he be able to link his account to the device? I figured there would be another box on the opening screen that says use another account or something...just wanted to make sure...he asked me about it.
Also, will he still get the $25 GP Credit when he registers it?
Gracias!
I am expecting an identical situation (except Sam's Club is HMV and the buyer is my mum!) so I am also curious about this

anyone have any idea? I was on hold with GP for 45 min before I had to hang up to go into a meeting. My package arrived...so im trying to sell it tonight.
http://geekout.laalo.com/
5 hours left. $59.99 retail (sell for $40 on Amazon right now).
*FYI. Whoever posted this site, a few weeks back, is my hero. I LOVE the deals they have on this. This is the first site I check when I wake up in the AM now, lol.
saw the deal, but didn't really think anything of it (I guess because I already had my own earbuds). As for loving the deals, though I do love the site, they get repetitive. There is almost ALWAYS a Gerber Brand Bear Grylls knife of some sort and both mobile and geekout have the same Iphone fm transmitter that show up everyonce in a while.

Any other good sites?

Member found deals of the marketplace at xda-developers.com, that, my email, and Laalo are where I check for deals. In my email I get fliers from Ebay, Newegg, and Crutchfield.
Can anyone explain how this works? I'm very confused. I tried to sign up for it, but it couldn't find my name in any public records or something (Understandable, I just turned 16 around 45 minutes ago). After trying a bunch of different combinations, I finally put in my Moms name and it worked. It asked some questions to verify her identity. I was able to answer all of them, and in the questions, my dad's name was also mentioned, so it somehow knows the two of them are related.
So what now? Is it supposed to find my shipment automatically? My nexus is addressed to me, and I don't think I'm listed on the UPS Account. Would I need to add my name or something? How would I go about doing that?
I'm just confused about what it's supposed to actually even do. Is it supposed to automatically find packages being shipped to me before I get sent a tracking number or something? Why are so many people recommending signing up for it?
Thanks for answering!!
Basically if you have a UPS package that is being shipped to that address/person, UPS MY Choice will notify you in advance. In my experience I sometimes get notifications from UPS my Choice waaaaaay before the website/store (i.e. Amazon, PlayStore etc...) decides to send you a shipping notification.
It also gives you opportunities to hold the package for will call (free), change delivery ($5), deliver to UPS retail ($5).
I set this up tonight as well.
You can add "Other Household Members" to the address you initially set up (under your mom's name).
Initially I wasn't able to modify my shipment (wanted to pick up at a UPS store near work), and the online chat support told me it can take 90 minutes from when you signed up for packages in transit to reflect the new UPS My Choice status on your account.
Thanks for the answers guys. I saw someone in a different thread say something about "it tracks by address"? Is that true? Because then I wouldn't need to add my name.
So if I am understanding now, the moment a package is found bring shipped to my address (Any name, even if it isn't on the account) I'll get a notification email with the ability to track said package? And this email will most likely come before one from Google?
I still haven't gotten either a backorder email OR a shipping email, so this UPS thing is my only hope

I'm kinda tending to think so too. I got my order in pretty early (11:45 on the dot) so I was holding out a last little bit of hope but I think it's gone now.

I ordered it 11:37:01 EST. But eh, we get free shipping, so it's not SOO bad... I just don't know what I'm gonna do without a phone for the next week or two.

What UPS location, local UPS Store or the sort facility that the package will pass thru prior to delivery. There maybe be additional steps to deliver it to the UPS Store.

That is a little weird, maybe they just want to make sure it will be available first thing in the morning or something, try calling UPS. I know I have been able to pick up items the same day they should have been delivered at the UPS sort facility, but I had to call and jump through some hoops to get it that same day.

I see.. you think I should officially change it on the website to pick up at the facility or just call them tomorrow when they open and try to see of they do it ?

I just called UPS when my thinkpad was coming from Shanghai, the day it was meant to be delivered (signature required) I wasn't going to be home till late, so I called them and even though it was out for delivery they said I could come get it from the sorting facility late that evening after the truck had returned.
Yea im trying to get it tomorrow instead of Monday cause there's no point in me picking it up Monday when they'll deliver it Lol

I see, I've never tried that, my local sort facility normally doesn't receive items until after hours and they are sorted overnight and sent out for delivery the following day.

yea that would be the ideal situation except they don't do deliveries saturday's but it should get there tonight and they are open tomorrow but idk if it'll be processed or anything
Not working for UPS I don't know for sure, but I suspect they dont process them prior to loading the trucks for delivery on Sunday night, maybe not all the staff work Friday/Saturday.

yea that's what i'm thinking, it's in knoxville tennessee right now so it won't be here till they close and probably won't even look at it tomorrow so monday it is i guess =/ i talked to a chat lady on UPS and she said they won't do anything before the first delivery date too
I got email notifications from My Choice with the tracking number but nothing in the APP.
The MyChoice Tab is basically an ad asking you to upgrade for $40 a year.
Am i supposed to copy and paste the tracking number from the my choice email and enter it manually in the tracking box?
If so, the App is pretty much useless to me. I would assume since its the same system, my "mychoice" account would be automatically updated.
I may sound inpatient but i'm sick of waiting months for android devices i want (asus transformer infinity). I currently have a wp htc mozart which im dying to give up for a nexus 4. I know we have no clue about when will see more stock on google play but should i wait or spend an extra $150 on ebay.
Don't buy that on eBay if you don't want to loose your money...

I would day wait. It's a while now since Google stopped accepting orders, surely it can't be long now till they open up again?
Up to you though, of course.

I personally was also tempted to buy one off ebay! Some of the prices weren't actually that bad. Considering the fact that google does charge you for the shipment you can get one off ebay for about £300, I even saw one sold on auction for £280. However coming to think about it more, the question remains that in case of a fault with the phone, replacement or customer service who do you deal with? The seller or ebay? Surely it has to be the seller since was bought off play store under his/her name to his/her address right?!
Just remember that Google will not handle any warranty claims if you're not the original purchaser and that purchase was from Google play. They'll tell you to go to LG for any issues.

Wait. That's what I'm doing. I doubt they will ever release it in the Netherlands, but I'm just going to import it from another country.
I keep my eye on ebay though. Sometimes you can get a good deal, but most of the time the price goes up pretty fast.

You can sell it when the marketplace opens again: http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=476
It's going to become available some time this week for sure! It's only logical, they shipped all the 2nd round orders, Canada's shipment was resumed and T-Mobile US is getting stocks. Unless google is planning to pile up N4's in their back doors then they are gonna put it back up for sale.
I bought mine off of eBay, don't regret at all!
i sold and unopened new nexus 4 on ebay. i set it up as a bid selling item, and was able to sell it for 475$
what sucks tho is that ebay took 45 dollars of that sale plus paypal got 14$. in the end i didnt really make much more than what i paid for. I wont be selling electronics on ebay again.
You could also try Kijiji or Craigslist and get it the next day like I did. Just be very careful
im going to take the risk found a pretty decent offer considering it comes with bumper as well, hopefully google dont make a fool out of me but i understand how some say if its damage what you going to do? Well considering Google cant get their game together, I can't imagine it being very easy to repair or help out. Thanks all for your opinions.

Got my N4 today! Like you I started considering getting it off ebay but then came across Carphone Warehouse deals and I got it for £379 16GB with £10 pound top up.
PROS:
-Got it in Store so no Shipping cost
-Got it it in Hand today
-Resealable price considering they are sold on Ebay over £400
-14 Days return and refund (So if in 14 days google restocks.. )
-It's Carphone Warehouse a trusted retailer and in case of a issue you ain't dealing with a seller on Ebay!
CONS:
-I'm in UK so don't know about other countries
-Very few branches actually have it (If you live in London I got mine in Kilbern High Road) Otherwise go on the store locator find all the stores around you and use the stock checker to see if it's available
No way I got my nexus in Kilburn Highroad as well
BTW its only 28days exchange policy you can't get a refund for it only one exchange if faulty
